Sixth sunrise

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy looks worried again, although now it's for entirely different reasons. She whines, and holds up a drawing depicting the little puppy version of her, complete with a little sun, and a question mark.]

[Has anyone seen her son, Chibi? She hasn't seen or smelled him around the ship since they finished the riffing.]

Comments

[skysmirror]

[Xion goes to find Ammy, then sits down nearby to offer scritches and pettings of comfort.]

I haven't seen him either, Snowy. I'm sorry.

[Still calling Ammy "Snowy," because, well, the nickname kind of stuck her mind.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy sits down and gratefully accepts the pettings, but still looks sad. She supposes it's like the others...but she feels like she hasn't gotten to spend nearly enough time with him.]

[skysmirror]

[Xion doesn't know much else to do other than keep up with the pettings and hope they help.]

[yabigfurball]

[They do help, although as they continues on, she eventually just lies down next to her and sighs. This will take some adjustment.]

[skysmirror]

[Eventually the pettings slow in pace, then stop, but Xion still sits by Ammy to offer quiet company if she'd like.]

[yabigfurball]

[She accepts the pettings and just sits next to her for awhile, before finally looking back up at Xion. Sometimes it helps to focus on other peoples' problems than her own. How is Xion?]

[skysmirror]

[Xion notices the look and smiles slightly.]

Worried about me? I'm okay, just have a lot to think about.

[colorbymemory]

Chibi's gone now?

[Off to find Ammy to offer whatever support she can.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy sighs and hangs her head. She supposes so.]

[colorbymemory]

[Found Ammy, now offering all the hugs and pettings.]

I guess he went home.

[yabigfurball]

[She hopes so...and that if he did, that things are okay in Nippon. She looks up at Namine, like maybe they can paint another picture together. She'd like to show her more of Nippon.]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine notices the curious look.]

What is it?

[yabigfurball]

[Once she realizes that Namine hasn't picked up on her question yet, she goes and pulls out her paintbrush to help demonstrate.]

[punsofiron]

...now that you mention it, I haven't seen the puppy lately either...

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy hangs her head, looking sad. She's starting to think Chibi really isn't here.]

[punsofiron]

[Oh not with the face. First Perry now this.]

I'm sorry girl.

[yabigfurball]

[She doesn't want to worry Liz or anything, but it is hard to keep her happy face right now. She just lies down, and sighs.]

[punsofiron]

[Don't make Liz come over there and pet you, Ammy!

Wait, too late, she's on her way.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy just sits and waits, then looks up when Liz actually arrives.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

...I'll take a look around, okay?

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy just nods. She would really appreciate that, even if Chibi doesn't turn up.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

[He nods back and starts his search. He can't imagine how horrible that's got ot feel.]

[yabigfurball]

[It's pretty upsetting, yes... She gives him a questioning look, wondering if she'd like her to go with him.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

If you want to join me, you can.

[yabigfurball]

[She nods, and trots after him. It's loads better than just sitting around and fretting.]
